This work is an adaptation of a longer piece composed for the selection rounds of the Sydney International Piano Competition. It was originally scored for five pianos playing simultaneously, hence the derby idea whereby each piano was pitted against the other in a rambunctious race till the very end ! It explores the less common use of the vibraphone for extended passages with the pedal kept up to create a staccato effect, intricate weaving melodic lines using unconventional scales and sophisticated rhythmic interplay between the vibraphone and piano parts. It is included in the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) Syllabus for Percussion from Grade 7.

This work was originally written for my student Andre at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music as a personal technical etude that also suited his developing musical personality. It explores hand independence, legato phrasing and quintuplet rhythm groupings. It is included in the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) Syllabus from the Certificate of Performance level. It also makes an ideal short solo work to feature the vibraphone at recitals.
